DELAVAN TOWNSHIP Emergency personnel were unable to locate anyone in danger Thursday night after a neighbor reported hearing cries for help.
Sheriff David Graves said the sheriff's office received an emergency call about 7:30 p.m. reporting that someone may have fallen through the ice and could be heard crying for help.
Graves said a helicopter equipped with a thermal-detecting infra-red device searched the area, along with divers from the sheriff's office.
“After an extensive search with helicopter and boats in the water for about four hours, we could not positively say that anyone went through the ice,” Graves said.
Fire departments, including Lake Geneva and the towns of Delavan and Darien, aided in the search.
Graves said the search ended minutes before 11 p.m. Thursday.
